Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has made just one alteration to the team that featured in their final pre-season friendly, with new signing Alvaro Morata making way for Pedro, who has recently returned from injury.

Arsene Wenger has decided to make four changes to the Arsenal side that started the 2-1 defeat against Sevilla last weekend, with Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker, Granit Xhaka and Alex Iwobi coming into the starting line-up to replace Laurent Koscielny, Aaron Ramsey, Joseph Willock and Mesut Ozil, respectively.

A determined fight back from Arsenal means that the Community Shield will be decided by penalties for the first time since 2009. Chelsea were victorious that year, but will they be able to do the same this time? This edition will see the new ABBA system in use, meaning that the team taking the first kick in each pair of kicks will alternate as the shootout progresses.
